Paper Tube Container 5cm Food Grade Best Quality Metal Lid
A cylindrical paper container built from compressed paperboard between 1.2mm and 2.0mm thick, faced with kraft or coated paper and closed with a metal slip lid. Standard diameters are 65mm, 75mm and 85mm, with custom sizes cut to a stated diameter by height such as 75mm x 160mm. Tea packers, coffee roasters and gift brands specify it where the contents need an airtight reclosable lid but the body should stay paper and recyclable.
What This Product Gives You
- The aluminium slip lid reseals after opening, so loose leaf tea keeps its aroma through repeated use rather than one pour
- Compressed paperboard between 1.2mm and 2.0mm keeps the wall rigid enough that the rim stays round and the lid keeps sealing
- Three standard diameters at 65mm, 75mm and 85mm cover most retail fill weights without paying for new tooling
- The body is recyclable, biodegradable and plastic free, which keeps the pack inside a retailer's packaging policy
- A tin-plated lid option extends storage life where the product sits on shelf for a long season
- Lid embossing carries the logo on the top face, the part of the pack a customer sees first on a shelf
Where It Is Used and Who Buys It
Application Scenarios
- Loose leaf tea retail and gift packs
- Whole bean and ground coffee retail containers
- Dry food and confectionery gift cylinders
- Cosmetic powder and bath salt containers
- Corporate gift and hamper components that must reseal after opening
Who It Is For
- Tea and coffee brand owners specifying retail packaging
- Speciality food packers needing a reclosable paper container
- Procurement managers at gift and hamper companies
- Private label buyers supplying supermarket and department store ranges

What Goes Wrong Without It
- A paper pouch cannot be resealed properly and the remaining product goes stale before it is used
- Soft-walled containers go oval in transit and the lid no longer seats
- Tinplate caddies raise both the freight weight and the unit cost for a product that only needs a metal lid
- Printed labels applied to a cylinder wrinkle at the seam and the brand mark distorts
- Buyers cannot compare quotes when the supplier will not commit to a diameter and height on the drawing

Materials and Manufacturing Process
Materials
- Kraft paper
- Coated paper
- Compressed paperboard
- Aluminium lid
- Tin-plated lid
Manufacturing Process
- Artwork preflight and PDF proof
- Offset or digital printing of the wrap
- Gold foil stamping and lamination
- Paperboard winding and cutting to height
- Rim forming and metal lid fitting
- Hand inspection and carton packing
How This Job Is Checked
- Artwork preflighted for resolution and outlined fonts before plates are made
- PDF proof approved in writing before the wrap is printed
- Lid seating tested on the formed rim so the closure opens and closes cleanly
- Every container hand checked for colour match against the approved artwork and for wrap alignment
- Photographs of packed goods sent for approval before shipment
What You Can Change
- Diameter and height set to your fill weight, quoted as diameter x height
- Kraft or coated outer layer with glossy or matt lamination
- Aluminium slip lid, tin-plated lid or embossed metal lid
- Gold foil logo on the wrap or engraved logo on the lid top
- Paperboard thickness selected between 1.2mm and 2.0mm
- Full colour or Pantone printing across the wrap
Compared With the Alternatives
| Alternative | How This Compares |
|---|---|
| Foil-lined stand-up pouch | The rigid container reseals with a metal lid and stands on shelf unaided, though a pouch costs less per unit and ships flat |
| Full tinplate caddy | The paper body cuts weight and freight cost while keeping the metal lid, but a full tin resists dents and moisture better |
| Paper tube with paper lid | A metal slip lid seals far more tightly for aroma retention, at a higher unit price than a plain paper cap |
Getting the Best Result
- Give the fill weight and bulk density so the diameter and height are calculated instead of assumed
- Quote the size as diameter x height, for example 75mm x 160mm, on every enquiry
- Pick 65mm for sample and trial sizes and move up to 85mm for full retail fills
- Keep the lid artwork inside the embossing area so the engraved logo is not cut by the rim
- Supply files as PDF, AI, PSD or JPEG at a minimum of 300dpi with fonts outlined
- Store the containers upright and dry so the rim keeps its shape before filling
